Viva Voulez Vous Show Tickets! A celebration of the music of ABBA
Bring on the glitter and singalong. Viva Voulez Vous gives you a lively night of ABBA classics in Blackpool, with songs such as Dancing Queen and Fernando performed by a dedicated tribute band. The show runs for about three hours and takes place at Viva Blackpool, a leading entertainment venue with high-specification lighting and sound.
I like the strong party atmosphere and the chance to sing and dance instead of sitting quietly through a formal concert. I also like the simple, fair price of $27.49 per person, which makes this an easy evening choice for an ABBA fan. The main consideration is that this is a tribute show, not ABBA itself, so expectations should match the format.

Key points to know before booking
- The show starts at 7:30 pm, making it a straightforward evening plan in Blackpool.
- Dancing Queen and Fernando are among the ABBA favorites brought to the stage.
- The performance lasts about three hours, so this is a full night out rather than a short concert set.
- High-spec light and sound systems add polish and energy to the production.
- The mood is built for participation, with singing and dancing encouraged.
- Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time, which gives you some useful flexibility.
What the Viva Voulez Vous night is really like
This experience is best understood as a celebration of ABBA rather than a history lesson about the Swedish group. You come for familiar songs, bright stage production, and the pleasure of joining in with music you probably already know by heart.
The band performs live on stage at Viva Blackpool. That matters because the appeal is not only hearing ABBA songs, but seeing them presented as a theatrical night out. The high-specification sound and lighting systems should help the show feel more polished than a simple pub tribute act, although the supplied details do not promise a particular stage layout or special effects.
The atmosphere is clearly part of the experience. One especially positive comment describes an amazing mood, good drinks, and plenty of singing and dancing. That gives you a useful picture of the evening: this is not designed as a quiet, seated recital. If you enjoy joining a crowd in a chorus, you are likely to get more from it than someone looking for a highly traditional concert.

Arriving for the 7:30 pm start
The advertised start time is 7:30 pm, so plan your evening around being ready at Viva Blackpool then. The experience takes place in Blackpool, England, and the venue is near public transportation, which is useful if you do not want to arrange a car for a night out.
The available information does not give a separate door-opening time, seating plan, or exact address details. I would therefore avoid cutting it fine. Give yourself enough time to reach the venue, find the entrance, and settle in before the performance begins.
The show is suitable for most people to participate in, and service animals are allowed. Those points make the event fairly approachable, but the information does not specify details such as step-free routes, hearing support, or seating arrangements. If you need a particular facility, confirm it with the provider before booking.
The main performance: ABBA songs on stage
The central stop is the live Viva Voulez Vous performance. The band brings major ABBA songs to the stage, including Dancing Queen and Fernando. Those choices suggest a set built around instantly recognizable material rather than obscure tracks.
That is good news if you want an easy, familiar night. You will not need to prepare or know every album. The fun comes from recognizing the opening notes, singing along with the chorus, and watching the room respond to songs that have remained popular for decades.
ABBA’s music also gives the show a broad appeal. A group of friends can enjoy it together even if their musical tastes are not identical. The price makes it practical for a mixed-age evening too, especially when compared with the cost of many larger concert productions.
The trade-off is that a tribute performance depends heavily on your expectations. If you want the original band, this cannot provide that. If you want a lively interpretation of well-known songs, the format makes sense. The best approach is to treat the show as a fun night of ABBA-inspired entertainment, not as an attempt to recreate an original arena tour in every detail.
Why the three-hour duration matters
At approximately three hours, this is a substantial evening. You are not paying for a quick 45-minute set followed by an immediate finish. The length gives the performance room to include a broad run of songs and maintain a proper night-out feel.
That duration can be a real advantage if you want your money to cover most of the evening. At $27.49 per person, three hours of live entertainment works out as a reasonable value for an ABBA fan, especially when the event includes professional lighting and sound equipment.
Still, a three-hour show may feel long if you only have a casual interest in ABBA. Think about the kind of evening you want. If you enjoy repeated singalongs, dancing, and a party setting, the length should feel generous. If you prefer short cultural performances with plenty of variety, this may ask more of your attention than you want to give.
The supplied details do not explain the exact running order, intervals, or the division of the evening into sets. You should not assume that every minute is nonstop music. The safest expectation is a full entertainment program lasting around three hours.

Lights, sound, drinks, and the party mood
The production uses high-specification light and sound systems. That is an important detail because ABBA’s songs benefit from a strong beat, clear vocals, and a stage that feels bigger than the performers alone.
Good technical equipment also helps a large audience sing along without the music becoming muddy. I would still keep expectations sensible. The information confirms quality systems, but it does not provide technical details about the equipment, volume, screens, or special effects.
Drinks are part of the night-out atmosphere. A positive comment specifically praises the drinks as well as the mood, singing, and dancing. You can take that as a sign that refreshments help round out the experience, but the available details do not list prices, a menu, or whether drinks are included in the ticket.
The event sounds most enjoyable when you take part. You do not need to dance all night, of course, but sitting back and watching is only one way to experience it. The show is built around familiar music and audience energy, so joining the chorus may be half the point.
Is $27.49 good value?
The advertised price is $27.49 per person. For a roughly three-hour live show in a dedicated entertainment venue, that is a sensible price if ABBA is the main reason you are in Blackpool.
The value improves if you see this as a complete evening activity rather than a concert ticket alone. You get a live tribute band, recognizable songs, stage lighting, sound equipment, and the social energy of a crowd. For friends, couples, or family members who already enjoy ABBA, the ticket is unlikely to feel extravagant.
The value is less certain if you are comparing it with free entertainment, a short local performance, or a major original-artist concert. A tribute show cannot offer the same rarity or prestige as seeing ABBA itself. The ticket price is reasonable because the event focuses on accessible fun, not because it offers an original recording artist.
Remember to budget separately for drinks, since the ticket details do not say that refreshments are included. The price information also does not mention reserved seating, upgrades, or extras, so I would judge the purchase on the performance itself.
Who will enjoy Viva Voulez Vous most?
I would recommend this show to you if you can answer yes to most of these points:
- You know and enjoy ABBA’s biggest songs.
- You like singing along in a crowd.
- You want a cheerful evening activity in Blackpool.
- You enjoy tribute acts and theatrical presentation.
- You value a reasonably priced event lasting about three hours.
- You are happy with a 7:30 pm start.
It could work particularly well for a birthday, a friends’ night out, or an evening added to a Blackpool break. The format is easy to understand and does not require a long day of sightseeing beforehand.
You may want to skip it if you dislike audience participation, dancing, or repeated familiar hits. You should also look elsewhere if your main goal is to see an original act or a performance focused on musical detail rather than party energy.
Booking and cancellation advice
Confirmation is provided when you book, which gives you an immediate record of the reservation. The experience is often booked around 24 days in advance, so I would not leave it until the last moment if your Blackpool dates are fixed.
Free cancellation applies when you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. That means a 7:30 pm performance requires cancellation by 7:30 pm on the previous day for a full refund. Changes or cancellations inside the 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund, and the amount paid will not be returned.
This policy is fairly manageable, but it rewards planning. Check your schedule before booking, especially if you are coordinating several people. The booking terms use Blackpool local time, so keep that in mind if you are arranging the show from another time zone.
Practical tips for a better evening
Arrive with enough time to reach the venue before 7:30 pm. Since the exact door-opening time is not provided, do not assume you can arrive at the last minute and still have an easy start.
Wear something that allows you to sit comfortably and move around. You may choose to dance, and the atmosphere is clearly designed to encourage it. You do not need special clothing, but a rigid outfit will not help if you spend part of the evening joining in.
If you are deciding between this and another Blackpool attraction, compare the length as well as the price. Three hours is a serious block of your evening. That makes the ticket good value for fans, but it also means you should genuinely want an ABBA-focused night.
For accessibility questions beyond service animals and general participation, ask Viva Blackpool before purchasing. The available information confirms that service animals are allowed and that most people can participate, but it does not spell out every venue feature.
Should you book Viva Voulez Vous?
Book it if you want an affordable, upbeat ABBA night with a live tribute band, familiar songs, strong lighting and sound, and plenty of opportunity to sing and dance. The combination of a $27.49 ticket and an approximately three-hour running time makes it a sensible choice for fans planning an evening in Blackpool.
Think twice if you want an original ABBA concert, a quiet performance, or detailed information about seating and production before committing. For the right audience, though, the event offers exactly what a good tribute show should: recognizable music, a party mood, and an easy way to turn one evening into a shared memory.
